My two older brothers are both Ohio State fans and they were super annoying about it when I was younger. And I've met several others since then that are still super annoying about it, lol.
OSU fans are probably the only B1G fans with enough mojo from their team's recent accomplishments to inspire some of them to talk alot of shit to SEC fans?
Brothers no less? I see, that makes sense.
Haha, right? Funny part is I'm super close to both of them and always have been. But I don't think a single meeting occurs between us without plenty of smack-talk amongst all of our favorite teams, lol.
How did members of the same family end up OSU and Georgia fans? I didn't go to UMn, just grew up in Minnesota and my parents were Gopher fans and my sister married a big Gopher fan, so my whole family are all Gopher fans.
Nice! We're from Ohio, that's why they're OSU fans and why I run into so many of them. I became a Georgia fan for a fairly random reason actually. When I was 8 or 9 in the late '90's I discovered their brand and liked it and it just took off from there. 20+ years later I've just become a bigger fan with each passing year.
ok......
Winning program fans who rub it in have that effect......
It can be kind of fun to be on the outside, to be the only fan of team X while everyone around hates your team.
Haha, exactly! And it's fun when you do occasionally run into another fan of your team far away like that. After all these years the place I work at hired a guy here in Ohio that is also a Georgia fan about two years ago. He and I get along very well now! Haha
Where I work, they kind of like the Gophers, but most are NDSU fans(many went to NDSU), so I both get razzed when they lose, and they're all also happy when the Gophers win.

Notre Dame does not schedule patsies at any time. NO FCS teams, ever. Historically, Stanford, Southern Cal, 2 Big Tens (usually MSU, Mich, Purdue, Northwestern and this year Wisc. a few years ago Ohio State), two Group 5 teams (always Navy and one other) a Big 12 or an Independent, or a third Pac 12 or Big 12, and now 5 ACC on a rotating basis.
Yeah. This year and some others ND's SOS has taken a big hit with numerous teams being down. USC would normally be a huge feather in their hat, but not for many years. same with playing mich., msu some years they've been way down. NW is down again.
When they moved up the first official AP poll to before the season even started, compared to when it started several weeks into the season, it allowed media bias to influence future rankings. Rank tons of SEC teams pre-season, most of them will finish ranked as the ones that were overrated will just be replaced the teams that beat them. Or if they get beat by a higher rated team, it's considered an acceptable loss.
This is meaningless, right now especially, as many SEC teams STILL ARE overrated.
SEC isn't going to get exposed in bowl games.
You don't get it, their bowl record alone with no CONTEXT, means nothing. If those 104 teams were favored to win 80% of those games, then it's arguable that 14 of them were overrated.
They play in the toughest bowl games every year, and they typically kick the shit out of the B10 year in and year out.
